And you gotta ask yourself, “Is he doing it yet once again? Luring me in?”

And pretty much from experience you know that I probably have. Or maybe not this time.

Regardless of all of that, I must warn you that this is going to be long and  introspective.

I travel for a living now, as I always report on. Places, cities that I never thought I would see.

I grew up on little ole Keeler, Michigan. Last child of two people who loved to read. My mom and dad where both voracious readers so I came by my love of words and books honestly.

We had a set of encyclopedia brittanica that I pretty much read from first volume to last. I loved that books. And they took me so many different and interesting place.

But then I grew up, went to college and drank the Kool-Aid of getting a “good” job, married my highschool sweetheart and started walking in lockstep.

The dreams of travel and exotic places were replaced with family vacations at the shore, or on a lake. It was a good life. Enjoyed every minute of it. But it was not what I thought I would be doing.

And then I took that huge leap in 2013 which ultimately brought me to where I am now. Doing what I thought I would be doing all those years ago on the living room floor of my home in Keeler, Michigan.

Life is never easy for anyone, but we go through what it we need to go through. And it does get messy.

See? I didn’t trick you with a seductive title….my messy life has come full circle. From dreams to reality.

Who would have thought….
